Gåra stavkirke, Medieval church site in Midt-Telemark, Norway.
The wooden church featured six massive posts supporting the structure, with plank walls and three entrance doors facing south.
Built during the Middle Ages and dedicated to Virgin Mary, the church served as a gathering place until its demolition in 1850.
The church contained medieval artifacts including a baptismal font from the 1400s and paintings depicting biblical stories on its walls.
The priest from Bø church conducted annual services at Gåra, with the last official mass taking place on August 28, 1814.
Near the former church site stand large stone monuments, including a 6.5-meter stone slab called Steinmerra and a triangular standing stone.
